Clarence House is a huge property — it just goes to show the divisions between him and the family.”“If you come to the UK and you have family here, you would probably stay with them, wouldn’t you?

It’s been 13 years since Kate Middleton and Prince William tied the knot in their iconic royal wedding at Westminster Abbey.

When King Charles and Queen Camilla tied the knot in 2005, there were rumours that his two sons Prince William and Prince Harry were against the union.

It is a childhood garden, and all I’ve done, really, is enhance it a bit,” the King told Country Life of the estate’s gardens. What’s more, the residence holds a special place in both of their hearts as it’s where they spent their honeymoon after tying the knot in 2005.Since then, they’ve made it their tradition to spend their anniversary at the estate each year.The pair, who tied the knot on April 9, 2005, celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary on Tuesday.They marked the occasion with a private celebration that included an intimate “romantic dinner,” according to the monarch’s former butler Grant Harrold.Charles, who is in the thick of his cancer treatment following his diagnosis in February, has been forced to hit the brakes on much of his royal agenda since

respective cancer treatments.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to be hoping for a temporary return to the UK’s royal fold, and have reportedly reached out to the Prince and Princess of Wales to make it happen.“A reconciliation with Harry and Meghan is totally possible, 100%,” the King’s former butler, Grant Harrold, exclusively told The Post. “I can believe, without any doubt, that Harry will be in touch with Kate and William and offering his help — whether they accept it or not is a very different matter, but I honestly believe Harry would have reached out personally and Meghan.”“Sadly, it’s times like this that brings families together and blood is thicker than water,” added Harrold.While they want to help the struggling royal family at a time of great emotional distress, it’s believed that the Sussexes are only interested in returning as working royals “on their own terms.”The Post revealed in February that Charles had been toying with the idea of having Harry back on a temporary basis, despite the Duke being kept at arm’s length from ongoing succession talks.But it soon emerged that Prince William was reportedly “blocking” Harry’s return to the royal fold in a desperate bid to protect his ailing wife.Harrold’s hopeful comments echo a similar sentiment expressed by royal commentator and historian Richard Fitzwilliams, who said the current situation could provide the “perfect opportunity” to mend the royal rift.“This is a dread situation, a major operation followed by cancer,” he said this week.

been undergoing chemotherapy treatment after doctors discovered cancer during her planned abdominal surgery in January.It’s understood that the royal decided to share the news with the world that particular day as it was before her and William’s three children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, left school for Easter break.And with Louis being significantly younger than his siblings, the pair no doubt approached the situation in a less straight-forward manner.“I’m sure it was a very difficult and very different conversation between children,” Grant Harrold, who worked for Charles for seven years when he was the Prince of Wales, exclusively told The Post. “For instance, for Louis I’m sure the conversation was more sugarcoated than it was with George and Charlotte.”“The older children can understand more, so I’d imagine it was a little more frank but undoubtedly staying positive, which is so important,” he explained.“That’s why when you now look at the picture of Kate with her three children, it brings a tear to your eye.

in the midst of her own battle with cancer. As two senior members of the Firm undergo treatment for their respective diagnoses, the royal family has been forced to undergo a major reshuffle.“Behind closed doors, it’s all a bit of a muddle,” Grant Harrold, who worked for Charles for seven years when he was the Prince of Wales, exclusively told The Post.

Kate Middleton, 42, out of the fold as they undergo their respective cancer treatments, the royals have been grasping at straws to have certain members step up and take on more work.And according to Grant Harrold, who worked for Charles for seven years when he was the Prince of Wales, Princess Eugenie is not looking to add anymore to her plate at this time.“Princess Eugenie is probably cautious to step up to Royal duties because it does take up your whole life. I’ve seen the schedules and you can’t switch it on and off,” Harrold told The Post.Eugenie, who welcomed her second son in May 2023 with husband Jack Brooksbank, is simply not prepared for the intense demands stepping up entails, Harrold notes.“Eugenie is very keen to have her own career and that’s something she is very passionate about – so yes, she probably is reluctant to take on royal duties,” he said of the Princess, who celebrated her 34th birthday over the weekend.“She’s currently a non-working Royal but as times become more desperate, it’s very likely we will see her move from that to become a working senior member of the family.”Elsewhere, Harrold notes that with Eugenie being close to both Prince William and Prince Harry, it could very much mean that she can act as a “peacemaker” between the feuding brothers.“Eugenie is very close to William and Harry, she always has been, always will be,” he notes.

It’s just old-fashioned village gossip that can now go round the world in seconds.
